Sophia's POV "Come on, let's have it, let's have it," I muttered with our gaze on Sandra. "Love to me is sacrifice, yeah sacrifice, I noticed we were all speaking about love from one direction, and that's relationship. What happened to the love we received from our parents, siblings, and friends?""Hmmm," we all muttered in unison and we giggled."Love demands sacrifices, my love language is sacrifice, how can you say you love me and yet you can't even sacrifice certain things for me? It doesn't make sense to me, if you love me you should be able to do certain things that would hurt you and it should be vice versa.I noticed the ideology we all grew up with is love is about romance, surprise, a red rose, a bouquet, and the rest. I ain't saying that's wrong, but it's not all of it, love also involves sacrifices. There are times when you have to do certain things for the comfort of the other party involved. When I say other parties are involved, I ain't only talking about two people in
Sophia's POVI exhaled, sincerely I had nothing to say, the best I could do was to buttress their opinion about love, "We are waiting Sophia," John said. "Give me time, I am trying my best to process what I have to say." My gaze traveled around gazing at their faces, they all had their gaze on me, "Can't I pass guy?" "No you can't," they chorused simultaneously. I exhaled again, "Well, love to me involves hurt and pain."I saw the shock on their faces, "What do you mean by that?" Sandra asked, looking shocked."What do I mean by love involves hurt and pain?" I asked and they all chorused, "Yes.""Well, this is what I mean, love involves hurt and pain, you can't fully grasp it until you go through it. It's something best understood when you have your own fair experience about it. But I am going to try my best to explain it, so you can all understand what I am saying.""Please do," they chorused."Now let's say, two people fall in love, after being friends for four or five years. They
Alpha Brandon POVSophia's explanation about being heartbroken after falling out of love began to ring a bell in my head. I wasn't expecting Sandra to fall out of love with me, but I don't think I can stand it when it happens.Sandra noticed the look on my face, I knew she could tell that something was definitely wrong with me. She waited till we got into our room, "My love, what's wrong? You look worried and sad." I remained quiet, pretending I didn't hear what she said.She wheeled towards me and tapped me on my back, "Brandon, what's going on? You look worried." I turned slowly towards her, and exhaled, "You know currently, there's a lot of things on my mind and what Sophia said began to perturb me, wait don't take it the wrong way. I ain't saying, that's going to happen to us, nah it's not going to happen.I am just bothered by the amount of people who have shut their hearts away from love, due to heartbreaks and the rest.""Is that really why you look disturbed?" I nodded my hea
Alpha Brandon's POV She lay on my chest, "Thanks for today, and you don't know how fucking happy I am for you, knowing you can now walk.""I am super excited about my love, I can't wait to see the surprise on their faces when we go to have breakfast tomorrow," she replied."They are going to be extremely shocked, just like I was shocked, we were all looking at the doctor's report who said you aren't going to walk till three months. But miraculously your healing happened faster, I am super duper happy my love," I kissed her forehead."I am more than excited, it feels like hell to be confined to the wheelchair, but now it's no more the case. I can now use my two legs, I can now fucking use my two legs," she muttered and sat up and I also sat up.The joy and the look on her face were damn priceless, I have no fucking idea about what it feels like to be confined to the wheelchair, but from the smile on her face, I could tell you she definitely wanted this for a long time. She felt free,
Alpha Brandon's POVThey moved to Brandon's office in the same spirit of joy, they lacked words to say, they couldn't utter a word. "What's up with what we have been working on, any progress?'Alpha Caleb raised his hand and nodded my head, giving him the floor to speak, "I haven't gone through it, but I can tell it's pointing towards one pack.""What pack, Alpha Caleb?"He got on his feet and replied, "It's still under investigation, I wouldn't want anyone to conclude on this, but everything indicates that Alpha Victor has something to do with it ""Alpha Victor?" I asked looking shocked, it's been a while since I heard about him, "I ain't saying he is the one, it's just that from my materials, he looks like the one.""Thank you, Alpha Caleb," I muttered and he sat down, "Does anyone here share the same finding as Alpha Caleb?" Only two bands went up.John cleared his throat, "I also found something new that might interest you Alpha."."Something new? Like what exactly?" I asked, tur
Sophia's POVI sat down confused at what was currently going on, John's story made no sense to me, I guess he was just using it to pass the time. I got tired and decided to leave Brandon's office. I wasn't comfortable sitting there, waiting for John to break whatever news he was about to say.Sandra joined me outside Brandon's office, and we both walked outside the mansion, we walked to an oak tree and sat down. She took my hands, "Thanks for all you have done for me Sophia, I am grateful.""Grateful? What did I do, I haven't even done anything and you are grateful?" I didn't understand what she was talking about."Since I became confined to the wheelchair, I know how tough it must have been for you, especially when it was revealed that the attack was meant for you and not for me. I haven't gone through such a phase, but I know it's hard waking up knowing someone else is currently going through something bad meant for you."I quickly shunned her, "I am the one who's supposed to be ap
Chapter 164Alpha Brandon's POVEverything seemed shocking to me, this was not what I was expecting this morning. All I wanted was to have a great day before John fainted in my office.We had no idea what was going on, who knows if it was another new disease in town. The pack doctor arrived and did a few treatments which saw him become conscious again. I decided to relieve him of his Beta role. Life was the major thing that mattered to me at that point.I walked back to my office and I felt weak and tired of doing anything. I stared at the friends of John who loved him so much. It's something we rarely see. At first, I thought all this John said was a prank, until he started showing us some files that contained different files, that would probably be of help to us.We went through such files one after the other, these files contain identical documents which also proves that John was right.According to the report, Brandon and Sophia were separated after the death of their father, the
Alpha Derrick's POVJoy and I both decided to have a mini chat under the oak tree. The oak tree slowly has become one of our favorite spots, maybe it's because everything started there, "Tell me Joy, what's new? What are you working on now?"She placed her palm under her jaw as she looked away, probably thinking of an answer, "Nothing new, what about you?""Well, a whole lot of things on my mind, but the top of the list is finding my wife and my son," I answered. "You still haven't gotten over this?""Gotten over my wife and son? That can't happen, they are my life, without them I ain't complete," I answered."Wow, this is strange, I don't think there are still men like you. With the power, and wealth you have, you don't need your wife when there are other beautiful ladies around."I chuckled, "You are right, Joy, but some of us are different, far different from others, you know right?"She nodded her head, "I wish I can say the same for my husband, I wish.""You wish? Come on, you ha
The journey was long and arduous, each step bringing them closer to their destination and Derrick felt a sense of purpose driving him forward all through. A determination to bring an end to the man that had plagued their pack for far too long.As they neared Victor's hideout, Derrick could feel the tension mounting. But he pushed aside his fears, focusing instead on the task at hand as they prepared to face whatever awaited them.His men waited behind while a handful of them followed the prisoner. Finally, they reached their destination, a discarded building hidden deep within the forest, its walls cloaked in shadows as if hiding secrets of their own. Derrick's heart pounded in his chest as he surveyed the scene before him. His senses were on high alert as he realized he never could have expected Victor to use a place like this.The prisoner led them inside, his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors as they moved deeper into the darkness. Derrick's heart pounded in his chest a
Derrick leaned forward, his eyes locked onto the prisoner's face, his heart pounding with anticipation. "Where is Victor?" he demanded, his voice edged with urgency. "And who were you running from?"The man took a deep breath, his gaze flickering between Derrick and Brandon as he weighed his words carefully. "It's a complicated matter, Alpha Derrick. You see, we were about to leave for battle," he began, his voice low and hesitant. "But when we went to check on Alpha Victor, he wasn't there. I went to call him from his hideout, and when I arrived, I saw him... I saw him with his fingers on the floor, chanting words."A shiver ran down Derrick's spine at the man's words, a cold knot of dread forming in the pit of his stomach. Whatever Victor was up to, it was clear that it was something far more sinister than they had anticipated."And who were you running from?" Derrick pressed his voice tight with apprehension.The man swallowed hard, his eyes darting nervously around the room before
Back at the pack house, Derrick wasted no time in implementing his plan. As his men corralled and subdued Victor's fleeing warriors, he issued orders with precision and authority."Detain them all," he commanded, his voice cutting through the chaos of the captured men being brought in. "Lock them up tight. We need to find out what's going on."His soldiers moved swiftly, their movements coordinated and efficient as they ushered the prisoners into makeshift holding cells, their hands bound securely behind their backs.Once they were all secured, Derrick made his way to the cells, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor as he approached the captives. His eyes scanned the faces of the defeated men, searching for any sign of weakness or defiance."Who's in charge here?" Derrick demanded, his voice cold and authoritative as he addressed the group.A tense silence hung in the air for a moment before a man stepped forward, his demeanor defiant despite his predicament. "I am," he replied,
It's been several weeks since Derrick was able to escape the attack, reuniting him with his Sophia and son, Tate. But they knew they couldn't rest. Alpha Victor was still out there, plotting goddess knows what. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting long shadows across the rugged landscape as Sophia stood in the fading light, her hands clasped tightly in prayer. The soft rustle of the wind through the trees was the only sound, mingling with the murmured words of her entreaty to whatever higher power might be listening."Please, let him come back to us. Keep him safe, watch over him," she whispered, her voice filled with a mixture of fear and hope. "Guide his steps, shield him from harm, and bring him home victorious."Tears glistened in her eyes as she finished her prayer, a silent plea hanging in the air as she gazed out into the distance, willing her words to reach her husband wherever he may be.Behind her, Derrick emerged from the dressing area, his eyes tender as he watched
Sophia's POVSomehow I felt Brandon was part of the people admitted, I went with Brandon and we walked into the ward where the two strangers were kept.My gaze traveled to the bed and there he was seated beside a lady on the bed, "Derrick," I muttered. Immediately he stood up and ran towards Brandon, they did a handshake, which I have only seen Brandon do with Alpha Caleb."Welcome Alpha Brandon," he said and I was shocked. I couldn't believe my ears, Brandon is an alpha? He stood gazing at me, we kept mute staring at each other with tears rolling down his eyes and mine.We moved at the same time and we hugged each other, it was so priceless. This is a moment I have been longing for over the past months, to be in his embrace. We hugged for a few minutes, as he ran his hands through my hair, while he patted me on my back."I have missed you, my love," he muttered as he sobbed."I have missed you also, what took you so long?" I asked sobbing, we disengaged from the hug staring at each o
Alpha Brandon's POVA few meters from Alpha Victor's pack, Wisdom asked that I bring the car to a stop, I did while waiting for his next instructions."We won't be allowed to get in because we aren't part of the pack, we need another means to get in," Wisdom said as he took off his seatbelt.I did the same and we came out of the car, "Come with me, keep your eyes open and your ears open."Caleb and I nodded our heads as we walked with him along a bushy path, it was a long walk, but the distance wasn't the problem. What we had our mind fixed on was how we were going to get her out of the dungeon he kept her.As we moved, we stopped right at the front of a rock, which seemed like the end of the road. "Where are we heading to?" Caleb asked, breathing heavily."Inside the rock, it leads straight to the basement," he muttered and we were both shocked.I had to look at the rock again, "How do we get in, there's no opening anywhere and how sure are you about this?""I am fucking sure because
Alpha Brandon's POV(Two Days Later)We were all seated in my office as we awaited the spy, I glanced at my wristwatch, "John, it's been two hours, and he hasn't shown up.""Be patient man, he will be here soon," John replied, and just then the door opened and a short dark dark-skinned man walked in and walked straight to John. They both shook hands, John stood up and cleared his throat, gazing at me, "Alpha Brandon, please meet my trusted spy, I call him Wisdom.""Wisdom meet Alpha Brandon," I stood up and we both shook hands, "You are welcome Wisdom.""Thank you, sir, it's an opportunity to meet you, can we please go ahead?" He asked and I nodded my head, "Hold on, hold on, don't be too fast, won't you get to know who the rest are? John asked.Wisdom exhaled, "Go on boss, I am listening." John pointed to Alpha Caleb, "That's Alpha Caleb, you know the name of his pack right?" Wisdom nodded his head."That's Sophia, Alpha Brandon's sister, and seated beside her is Sandra, Alpha Brando
Alpha Brandon's POVAlpha Caleb started chuckling, "I have an idea, though it doesn't look great, but it will surely be of help.""Spill it, I am listening," I said and sat up, he nodded his head, and also sat up, "Right now we don't have a lot of information and we just can't act like that. How about we send a spy to get information for us?"John sat up, clapping his hands, "Exactly, that was the same idea that came across my mind, why don't we get someone to penetrate the pack? The job of this individual will be to send us vital information not about the pack, but about Alpha Victor, his movements, where he goes to, and the rest."I kept quiet as I pondered on what they just said, "Do you guys think this is the best thing to do?"They nodded their heads, "It's the best thing to do, we can't act without information. We need information to act, don't you think?" Sandra asked."Yeah, we need information to act, I believe, now the big question is who is going to be the spy. It can't be
Alpha Brandon's POVOur gaze was fixed on Alpha Caleb as he wrote down the name of the Alpha, he wrote on the board Alpha Victor."What?" Sophia gasped looking shocked, "What is it? Do you know him?" She clung to her neck, breathing hard as she nodded her head."Who's he, talk to me," I said as I moved towards her. From the way she responds, I feel there's something tragic about that name, the only way I can find out is by getting her to talk about it."He is the alpha of our pack, not only that he is our stepfather," she whispered looking scared, "Our stepfather? You mean the man that Mum married after Dad's death?"She nodded her head, "That man is evil, he's an evil brother. He is evil.""Evil, what do you mean, talk to me, how's he evil?" We all turned towards her."He was the one who offered me to Alpha Caleb, and when Alpha Caleb rejected me, he sold me to Alpha Derrick. Not only that he mistreated me during my stay with him, he maltreated me, he also did the same with Mum," she
